EVI Scud is a module of the access control and management system designed for organizing access control in a company.
By default, the controller connects to the EVI platform using the domain name evi-core.eltex.local. There are two ways to change the platform address:
The platform address is set via DHCP using DHCP Option 43. The string format is: <SERVER-NAME/IP-ADDRESS>:<PORT>, where:
After receiving an address different from the current one, the controller will automatically begin reconnecting to the new platform address. |
The controller automatically retrieves the time from the platform – no additional configuration is required. |
You need to access the web interface of the IPA-ER-020 controller. For more information about the device, refer to the IPA-ER-020 PACS controller manual.
Connect to the device's web interface using the IP address assigned by DHCP, or go to http://192.168.1.10 if DHCP is not available on the network. |
On the authorization page, enter the following data in the Login and Password fields:
Click the Log In button.
Switch to Network settings, select the EVI Platform tab.
Select the Manual option.
In the Platform Address field, enter the desired server address in the following format:
<evi-core IP address>:8085 |
Click the Apply button.
In the web interface, switch to the Controllers page in the Devices section.
Click the three dots to the right of the firmware Version column and click the Authorize button.
The serial number is entered automatically; click the Authorize button.
Once the item has been successfully added, a notification will appear at the bottom center of the screen indicating that the operation was successful.
The IPA-ER PACS controller has the default address of the EVI Platform server: evi-core.eltex.local.
Specifying this domain name in the DNS server will allow controllers to automatically connect to your EVI platform.
If an address other than the default address is required, then a DHCP server must be pre-configured.
To do this, enter the server address of your EVI platform in option 43. After that, all controllers will automatically connect to the specified address.
Switch to the web interface to the Controllers page in the Devices section.
Switch the Register automatically toggle to the active position.
All controllers will then be added to the system automatically.
To work with IPA-ER it is recommended to use a reader with current consumption up to 200 mA or power the reader directly from the power supply.
A reader with speaker control support and passage prohibition indication is recommended.
The communication interface between the controller and the reader operates using the Wiegand protocol, various readers with NFC, MIFARE, QR, EMM, HID, etc. can be used. It is only important that Wiegand is supported.
